The ladies among your friends who feel the cold will surely love this pretty heart-shaped heat pillow. Inside is a grain or cherry pit pillow that can be heated in the microwave or oven.

The front of the cover is crocheted in a popcorn stitch (which is explained in detail with pictures in the pattern), and the back consists of single crochet stitches. This way, you can control just how much heat you get.

The pillow is crocheted from pink potholder yarn. You’ll need about 100 g. Although the potholder yarn is heat-resistant, the cover should not go into the oven or microwave with it, to prevent discoloration.

You should know how to knit stitches, purl stitches, yarn over, and knit stitches together. The pattern is explained in writing row by row. If you prefer working from a knitting chart, you’ll also find one in my pattern.

Get the pattern quickly, and the shawl will still be finished by Christmas.

Women love bags.....
At least most women do.

This one is crocheted and then felted in the washing machine.
It’s very easy—you just shouldn’t be shocked by how big the finished bag is before felting.
If you can crochet, you can do felted crochet too.

The pattern for this (and other) crocheted felted bags is available here:

Felted boots with a roll-down cuff

For all women, hand-knitted felted boots are always a popular gift. I, for one, am always being asked to make some in favorite colors for this person or that. By now I've gone through almost every color. And yet every pair is unique again and again thanks to the roll-down cuff in a different color.

Felted boots are ideal for anyone whose feet get cold quickly. Felted wool provides ideal warmth and balances temperature. You don't sweat in them, and your feet won't get hot. Excess heat is simply released outward through the felt fibers. The thick felt is nicely soft, so your step is pleasantly cushioned too.

If you want to upgrade the felted shoes, sew leather soles underneath. You can buy these or DIY them. How to do it is described in this pattern: DIY leather soles.

The felted boots are knitted; the washing machine takes care of the felting. With my pattern, you can make felted boots in all sizes. Men are happy to receive them too, by the way ;-)

I hope you have lots of fun with this project - Yours, Ina
